PeterT Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Has anyone else been losing their V11 file icon previews after installing V12? We just installed VW 12.5 on all our machines, but we are still working in VW11.5.1 and have many V11 files on our Mac OS 10.4 Server. All of us are now having problems with looking in folders from the mounted server and randomly, some of the VW11 files have lost the icon preview and display as a blank generic document. These "blank" documents open O.K. in VW11, and seem to behave normally fortunately, so this is not a huge issue. But, if I "Get Info" on the "blank" file, it shows that it is set to "Open with VectorWorks 11.5.1(default)", so it knows what the file is, but does not display the correct icon. The odd thing is, if I switch the "Open With" setting to "VectorWorks 12.5", the file then takes on the correct VW11 icon preview. I can then set it back to "VectorWorks 11.5.1(default)" and it keeps the preview. As I said, not a huge problem, but just a bit annoying. Anyone else having this issue? Quote Link to comment
exocubic Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Peter- I had this problem on my 12.0.1 install, but it seems to have stopped in 12.5. Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I also noticed this with VW12.0.1 and it continues with 12.5. For me the normal VW icon is restored if you edit the name. Why? It's beyond me. ---------------------- PB17/G4/1GB/OS10.4.8 Bob Quote Link to comment
LarryAZ Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 On mine there is a white box icon over the original. Get info (command I) select the icon and hit delete to get rid of the white box and the old icon is still there. Quote Link to comment
klaus Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hi I had the same problem a while back (and it sometimes reappears) but all I do is verify and repair permissions using disk utility and all is well again .... so when I see blank icons I usually take it as a sign that permissions need attention Quote Link to comment
PeterT Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Repairing permissions does not fix the problem for me. I went straight to a folder after repairing permissions, and two out of the five VW files had the blank icon. Quote Link to comment
